About Me
Steve Ozminkowski is a professional Karate instructor and Zen practitioner from Rochester NY. Originally used as a form of meditation, Steve has evolved his painting abilities as a primarily self-taught artist. Steve has worked in inks, spray paints, colored pencil, carpentry: both fine and general, on miniatures (game pieces, and most recently in acrylic paints on canvas.
Although Steve has worked the least amount of time in acrylic paints, it has become his favorite medium to work in, and has seen the greatest benefit from his daily practice. Steve has had work featured in many fan projects related to 'Sorcery Contested Realm', including having the honor of creating the featured image of Seattle’s 2024 Sorcery Convention.
Steve paints under the pseudonym “Ozminkoski” which is the original spelling of his Grandfather’s name as an homage to his influence on Steve's art. The stamp with which Steve stamps all of his work is the Japanese spelling of his name and can be romanized with either the traditional or the pseudonym spelling.
Steve is a huge fan of Sorcery Contested Relm, and hopes to get his work featured on production cards in the future. In the mean time he creates card alters on Alpha and Beta edition cards.
Steve works part time as a freelance Illustrator and painter, as well as a custom fabricator and is available for commissions.
